Appleton LB-50 Malleable Iron Lb Conduit Body 1/2 in

Product Description

The APPLETON LB-50 is a malleable iron LB-style conduit body designed for use in electrical raceway systems. LB conduit bodies provide a 90-degree change of direction with rear access, allowing electricians to pull wire through conduit runs and make directional changes without bending conduit. The LB-50 is sized for 1/2-inch conduit trade size, making it a standard fit for residential and light commercial wiring applications. Malleable iron construction provides durability and resistance to mechanical stress in exposed or partially exposed installations.

This conduit body is used in EMT, rigid metal, and intermediate metal conduit systems where a 90-degree pull point or direction change is required. It is commonly installed in exposed conduit runs on walls, ceilings, and equipment connections in commercial, industrial, and residential service work. The rear-access cover allows for wire pulling and future maintenance without dismantling the conduit run.

Key Features

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes. De-energize all circuits in the conduit run before opening or working within any conduit body. Ensure the cover gasket is properly seated and the cover screws are fully tightened after wire pulling to maintain the enclosure rating. Do not exceed the conduit body's listed fill capacity as required by NEC Article 314.
